002 MESSERSCHMITT ME 264 AMERIKA BOMBER (X-Planes)

1-969002

As Europe plunged into World War II, Hitler ordered the development of the 'Amerika Bomber' -- a hi-tech secret weapon capable of taking the war across the Atlantic. The Messerschmitt Me 264 was chosen from designs tendered by Messerschmitt, Junkers, and Focke-Wulf, and this long-range aircraft would be capable of attacking cities in the United States.

Just one month before the attack on Pearl Harbor and the American entry into World War II, Hitler was promising, privately, to wage a new war against the USA after his victories in Europe. Dazzling digital artwork and 50 rare archival photographs help examine the development, intended role, and influence of the aircraft that Hitler planned to use to bomb New York City.
